Reynolds has been more dedicated than Daniel Day Lewis preparing for a role – spending 35 years in a Gulag for his next independent film or so – in his brutish lambasting of the Aussie actor at every opportunity possible.

The 2018 battle between Wolverine and Deadpool all seemed to begin on April 11, when Jackman posted a heartfelt message to his partner Deborra-lee Furness on Twittter.

I believe in life we need to see and truly be seen by the most important people in our lives. Deb, from day one, we had that. 22 years later … it only gets deeper. You and the kids are the greatest gift I will ever receive. I love you a gazillion times around the world. pic.twitter.com/VsoDq4HxDw

The short video, which begins with Jackman clad in a dressing gown explaining how busy he is, is quickly taken over by Reynolds lying on what looks like a hotel bed, dressed head to toe as Deadpool, singing along to Tomorrow.

It’s quite the video.

More specifically Jackman says:

I’m really really busy doing… stuff… and [joining in with Reynolds] your bottom dollar that, yeah. Yeah don’t give him too much attention. That’s why I can’t be there. Have a great birthday.

He then dives into a fitting rendition of the Baha Menclassic Who Let The Dogs Out.

Finally – Jackman has hit back at Reynolds, leaving him a message yesterday on Good Morning America.
